    Do you know this is true with the UF coaches? Hood has been known about and offered by a lot of teams for some time now. If UF only offered late, he may not be as highly thought of. Maybe Nonar isn't saying the right thing to the coaching staff even though the coaching staff prefers him? Maybe a UF OL commit is on the way out the door so the staff decided to offer late compared to other schools? Nobody knows for sure except the coaches.

    yea that wasn’t a good rep by him but other than that, he had a solid night. As we all know, he’s absolutely raw as a prospect and will need some seasoning and tweaking.

    Not too much to complain about in that one, and in this matchup he was not playing against munchkins.

    What he is now, he will not be by his redshirt Jr year. That is how many years, in theory, Hevs will take to build him up. And that’s ok. So long as OT prospects already in the system are ready to step up between now and then. OR we actually DO manage to import some quality OTs via the portal.

    indeed. My only wish is that we could find an elite anchor at LT that can play sooner rather than later

    Elite sure doesn’t seem to be on the roster but more than adequate maybe is a better hope.

    is it really OK? Say that out loud and think about it. The 4th year on campus is how many years it will take to build up? I understand a project here and there, but is that the exception or the rule?

    I don't know, but Forsythe is in the NFL, and he is about as a big a project as you can find. 4th year does mean getting 2 good years out of the player. If someone is good enough to start as a freshman, do you expect 4 years out of him? He'll be gone after 3 unless he was an emergency player as a freshman. I think it is ideal having some elite mixed in, but guys finally starting in their 4th year is a sustainable way to go if the talent eval is sufficient and medical hardships are rare. You could tell that Muschamp's OL recruiting was pure fool's gold: full of medical hardships.

    Not going to look it up but my recollection is he recruited about 1.5 OL a class so that when McButterluv arrived it was not a cop out that our OL roster was so depleted that we couldn't field two units for the O&B game. That type of mismanagement along with his sideline demeanor make me wonder why anyone in the front office was upset to see him go. Foley I can understand because his deepest wish was to replace Spurrier with a championship coach imo to make himself appear to be the man that giveth.

    Muschamp problem was he underrecruited his first 2 years at UF. He brought in 4 OL TOTAL in 2011 and 2012. then he got 5 in 2013 with only 3 contributing (Trent Brown, Cam Dilliard, and Rod Johnson who had to medically retire after 2014) and 6 in 2014 but only 1 of them ever amounted to anything and he underachieved (David Sharpe).

    Situations are diff bc of who they were replacing (3 NFL draft picks) but Bama’s new OL actually feature a few cats who had to wait and bake on the sidelines before they took over so that does give your point some ammo about the OL. Their game 1 OL starting unit is

    LT is a true junior
    LG is a true sophomore
    C is a RS Senior
    RG is a RS junior
    RT is a RS senior

    But the question is whether they would have been waiting on the sideline at UF…
